Star Wars has seemingly confirmed Ahsoka season 2 is coming in 2026

It seems Star Wars has confirmed Ahsoka season 2 is coming this year, which is good news for those of us who've been missing Snips.

The news comes in the latest – and final – issue of Star Wars Insider, as shared on social media by user Morai the Messenger. The magazine says that "a second season of Ahsoka is due to drop on Disney Plus later this year."

While we've known Ahsoka season 2 is coming for some time, no release date has been confirmed, which led to some fears that the show might not be arriving until 2027. This latest update seems to confirm that Ahsoka Tano is indeed returning to our screens this year.

That's especially exciting, since The Mandalorian and Grogu director has teased Ahsoka is leading Star Wars forward.

"Anybody who saw the sequels knows that there's a First Order coming in, like, 20 years from where we are now in the storyline," Jon Favreau shared recently. "And then Ahsoka season 2 is coming out – which I've seen all of – and that's definitely more dealing with the larger [picture], a higher level. That's about the officers and we're the enlisted men – this is more of a ground-level experience of what's going on. You're seeing the backdrop – which, by the way, is what the first Star Wars started off as."

Excitingly, Star Wars Insider also said a teaser for Star Wars: Starfighter could be imminent: "And watch out for a teaser trailer for 2027's big release, Star Wars: Starfighter, sometime soon."

In the meantime, The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives this May 22, while Maul – Shadow Lord continues weekly on Disney Plus.
